whoops was supposed to reply to OP

>>9791761
That's actually kind of cool, good for her.

>>9791761
She's always been a weeb, and was pretty iconic in the yuri on ice fandom. She also likes kpop, being an exol

No hate against Zhenya. She might be a weeb, but she's also a precious cinnamon roll.

>>9791761
This made me so happy and nostalgic. She gained a fan.

You can tell she's a huge fan, which makes this adorable. Unpolished in ways but that just lends charm, in my opinion. 10/10

Btw, Evgenia will skate in the Olympic Winter Games in Pyeongchang this night and tomorrow night in the Ladies Single event. I so dearly hope she gets the gold medal. She deserves it.

>>9791761
I'm not even mad about no wig when it was this fucking good
adorable/10

>>9791980
Would really appreciate it if you could drop a link to watch it online, Anon!

>>9791761
Ice thot

>>9792666
fuck you she looks like a nice girl

>>9791761
hey, girl literally just set a world record the other day, I'm just so proud of this tiny russian weeb

>>9793350
t.thot

>>9791761
This is old news, where have you guys been?

>>9793535

It's the olympics, so obviously any asshole who just discovered ice skating will discover this and think /cgl/ will eat this up and call her a thot, whore, etc. when in reality she really is just weeb trash like us through and through.

Evgenia is my hero. I hope she wins gold this year.

>>9793543
I feel bad for nice girls who have conventional "thot" like features

>>9793544
What are you talking about? There's no such thing as a natural 'thot' feature, it's all styling and behaviour. And Medo chan is just a pretty, normal looking teen.

>>9791761
That's awesome! She really had fun with it, and her performance came out adorable 10/10

The Free Skate is coming up tomorrow (not today, my mistake). Here's some info if someone wants to watch it:

Streaming info: http://soyouwanttowatchfs.tumblr.com/post/170505130465/2018-winter-olympics-info-streaming
(scroll down, depends on which country you're from)

Live results: http://www.isuresults.com/results/season1718/owg2018/SEG004.HTM
(live scores will be posted there once the event has started)

The event starts at 10 a.m. Korean time, but you can check here what time that is in your own time zone: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html?iso=20180223T010000&p1=3830&p2=166&p3=101&p4=195&p5=136&p6=179&p7=64&p8=137&p9=33&p10=248&p11=240&p12=213

If you wanna watch Evgenia: she's the very last skater and her program will start at about 13:48 p.m. Korean time.(See here http://www.isuresults.com/results/season1718/owg2018/OWG2018_LadiesSingleSkating_FS_TimeSchedule.pdf )

>>9793704
Thank you A LOT for the detailed answer!! Bless you, fs anon!

>>9791765
where has Naoko been? I haven't seen recent interviews with her /(0co);(=£=<)

>>9793724
You're welcome!

Another tip for everyone: make sure to test your stream early enough. Especially in later skating groups some streams get buggy or slow due to the amount of people watching, so you might need to switch (talking from experience here - this made me miss some programs)

Is she from the USA cuz MERCIA

Strange video... good form... autistic hand waving

>>9794194
She's russian.

Cпacибo

>>9791980
I think her younger teammate will beat her out, bc Russia basically makes these figure skater chicks in a factory.

God I hate Zagitova.

lol, even /sp/ seems to hate Alina Zagitova

>>9794768
>>9795038

I wouldn't be surprised the coach bribed the judging panel to have Zagitova push Medvedeva out. She's notorious for pitting younger against older and ruthlessly cutting out anyone who doesn't rack up technical scores her way.

Her skating is so ugly and all she does is jump in the last 3 minutes. God.

>>9795053
I watched them both just now to see what the fuss was. Medvedeva makes skaing look so effortless, she makes it look like she weighs nothing. A true performer.
I don't want to slate the other girl because I'm no skater, if you put me on ice I'll fall on my ass, but am I insane for thinking that she just wasn't as captivating or good as Medvedeva? I kept waiting for her routine to get good.

>all those people shitting on Alina just because she isn't a weeb

Evgenia was good but Alina was better. Deal with it. This is about ice-skating and not anime. You are giving Evgenia bonus points for being a weeb but outside internet no one gives a fuck about that.

https://www.vox.com/culture/2018/2/23/17043540/evgenia-medvedeva-alina-zagitova-olympics-figure-skating

this explains why she performed better but didn't win. The other girls routine basically whored out the points system, which is completely fair. I don't blame her.

>>9795103
Evgenia's routine was artistically superior. Alina farted out some moves at the end to make up for a piss poor routine.

>>9795053
Seriously. Medvedeva's performance was ballet on ice. Physical prowess but emotional vulnerability and storytelling through every move. Zagitova? No artistry, no story, no emotion, then OOH I CAN JUMP A LOT.

>>9795242
Agreed. Unfortunately there really is no rule to put all of your jumps in the second half to loot the the fulll 10% bonus. But fucking hell is it poor style and sportsmanship. Alinas program is just not balanced at ALL.

Figure skating scoring is broken, exploitable, and clouded by collusion and bribery, news at 11.

>>9791841
This. She's also a very hard working girl, leave her be.

>>9795053
Eteri blatantly favours Medo though.

And honestly for all the complaints about backloading, Medo would've done the same if she wasn't injured. She or someone in her team said it openly. She was getting the exact same complaints because she'd milk GOE with tanos etc. I'm sad she didn't win too but that's just because it sucks she was on top for so long and got overtaken at the worst time, and a revolving door of Russian champions is not fun to watch.

>>9795252
>>9795242
>>9795235
It is completely fair and allowed to jump in the second half to get more points, even Evgenija could do it but but chose not to.

>No artistry, no story, no emotion, then OOH I CAN JUMP A LOT
Too bad, artistry, story and emotions aren't point scoring elements, those are just your subjective opinions.

>>9795876
There's a whole point section for artistry, anon.

>>9795876
your technical score is just one part. the other components like transitions, performance and execution, choreography and interpretation are also scored. they literally are point scoring elements, a huge part of it.

>>9794164
Too busy writing HxH.

>>9791761
I saw it posted in /pol/ and most liked it.

>>9796285
who gives a shit

/pol/ is full of babies and uggos

>>9796313
just like here

>>9796322
nah, /cgl/ is a small percentage of that but it's mostly made up of 100% S A L T

>>9795876
>Too bad, artistry, story and emotions aren't point scoring elements, those are just your subjective opinions.

Haha, wow. Way to show you literally don't know what you're talking about

>>9791761
Never thought this meme would aply to /cgl/, but is Evgenia /ourgull/?

>>9795252
This is kinda the exact plot of Yuri on Ice though... I really hope you guys realized that Yuuri put a ton of jumps in the back half of his program (but he also had a clean skate during the Grand Prix Finals which is a skater's dream)

>>9797164
dear LORD stop comparing real life skaters to YOI. just because you watched the show does not mean you have extensive knowledge about skating
>but-but anon it helped me learn! i love skating now! you probably are the same way!
>is a figure skater, constantly compared to YOI by weebs who think they know everything because they watched it

>>9797614
>is a figure skater, constantly compared to YOI by weebs who think they know everything because they watched it

I feel you so hard, can't go on a Yuzuru video now without all the weeby YOI comments either.

>>9797614
Now you know how car enthusiasts feel about Initial D fanboys. Its pretty much the same shit.

>>9791761
>>9795141
>>9795252
Fucking minmax'ers

>>9791765
at least sempai noticed her, she won gold in her heart. flavor victory.

cute panties desu

>>9797643
I think it’s this with just about every sports anime (initial D is the same thing basically)

>>9797614
sure you are, fatty-chan

>>9797849
Except yowapeda, since that one is written by a guy who actually knows his shit.

>>9797942
I hate that everyone on here automatically assumes that gulls have no hobbies other than cosplay. You don’t need to believe me, but i’m sure that you wouldn’t believe me if i went in depth on sandbagging policies in the USFSA because i’m also a coach.
>>9797944
I enjoyed the show and felt informed about a sport I always overlooked, but in no way will i pretend i know things about it like some gulls here. (Same for HQ too!)

>>9797967
Nice to see another coach on here! I’ve been lurking this thread as someone from a different but similar sport and I appreciate your insight

>>9797967
a simple pic of you on the ice would be enough to dissuade any doubters, fatty-chan

>>9798078
boring shitposting my dude.
no one wants to out themselves and you're just being rude for no reason.
nayrt, I liked YOI too, but I'm not going to throw a fit because someone who is an actual skater wants to distance themselves from some fantasy creative work.
did you also learn everything you know about 20th century global history from Hetalia? KEK

>>9798093
Nice deflection, fatty-chan
Larping too

>>9798078
is this projection? i don't understand.

>was figure skating fan before YOI
>actually really looked forward to YOI
>anime was okay. not super, but okay.
>mfw it becomes this huge fucktarded mess between skating and YOI fans

Can we just let this come to an end?
YOI-fans, stop projecting YOI on the real life sport.
Skaters, don't hate on every YOI fan please.

>>9798109
It's larping, she's pretending to be an expert in the sport when she's probably just as bad as Usagi, if she even drags her fat ass to the rink in the first place

>>9798297
there’s probably 30 levels of irony in this post

>>9798305
Nothing ironic about a fat girl pretending she isn't fat, or a weeb trying to lord over other weebs

>>9798297
Is HWC back? You need to calm your sperging anon lol

>>9798315
whales and ice don't mix, it's cool

>>9798315
Nah, this isn’t good enough for HWC. It’s just some babu troll who’s discovered if you call lolitas fat someone reacts

>>9797975
Always nice to meet someone in the same position as me! It gives insight into what sports anime teaches the viewers and stuff.
>>9798078
Sorry anon I’m not going to out myself because you’re baiting, not about to self post.

Still tho, stop comparing people in real life to YOI characters. That’s all I came to say

>>9791980

She can't do a lutz, she doesn't 'deserve' any medal at all

That said I do think she's adorable and a very talented skater, I hope she fixes her jumps so her medals are fairly earned

>>9798564
Absolutely! I remember the nightmare that was the swimming anime days. It was... rough.

I have to say, I loved whoever posted how scoring works, I’m always amoused at how much my sport (synchronized swimming) basically lifted from skating. I mean some levels still have “figures” lmfao.

Good luck with whatever competitions you may have coming up!

>>9793704
Anon delivers!

>>9796981

She summoned that from the depths of hell.

>>9798568
She reminds me of that Dutch gymnast who got a medal in beam with mainly spins and far less acrobatic stuff than the norm. The routine is beautiful to watch, her execution is on point and she connects everything so smoothly but doesn't have as many "tricks".

His Twitter is literally the best, would recommend (@joejohnsonice)

A bit abstract but I'm gonna say it counts because we all know Boyang LOVES Spiderman
